Pyrite comes from the Greek “pyros” which means “fire”. Its metallic lustre and golden-yellow colour give this stone a gold-like appearance. The similarity is so fooling that during the gold rush in the United States in the 19th century, explorers sometimes thought they found a gold deposit when it was pyrite. Its metallic lustre was prized by the Amerindians, who used it for making mirrors, thanks to its reflective properties. It was utilised as a source of ignition in early firearms in the 16th and 17th centuries. Nowadays, it is used in technological, chemical and civil engineering components such as solar panels and lithium batteries.

The pyrite egg, placed on its base, is a beautiful and elegant object. Made of rough stone, it gives an authentic look to your decoration and an undeniable charm to the room where you place it. We strongly recommend it to professionals who want to diffuse a strong energy during meditation or massage sessions.
